| BinaryHeapPriorityQueueTElement Class |
Priority queue class based on a binary heap which is set as a max heap, as a priority queue always has the element with the highest value (key) as the first
element

Syntaxpublic class BinaryHeapPriorityQueue<TElement> : PriorityQueueBase<TElement> where TElement : class
Type Parameters
- TElement
- The type of the elements in the queue
The BinaryHeapPriorityQueueTElement type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BinaryHeapPriorityQueueTElement |
Initializes a new instance of the BinaryHeapPriorityQueueTElement class.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Count |
Gets the number of elements in the queue
(Overrides PriorityQueueBaseTElementCount.) |
 | PriorityComparison |
Gets the priority comparison.
(Inherited from PriorityQueueBaseTElement.) |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Add |
Adds the specified element to the queue
(Overrides PriorityQueueBaseTElementAdd(TElement).) |
| Clear |
Clears the queue.
(Overrides PriorityQueueBaseTElementClear.) |
| Contains |
Determines whether the queue contains the element specified
(Overrides PriorityQueueBaseTElementContains(TElement).) |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetEnumerator |
Throws a NotSupportException, as binary heaps can't be enumerated.
(Overrides PriorityQueueBaseTElementGetEnumerator.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Peek |
Peeks at the first element of the queue (the one with the highest priority, according to the priority comparison) and returns that element
without removing it
(Overrides PriorityQueueBaseTElementPeek.) |
| Remove |
Removes the first element from the queue, if the queue isn't empty.
(Overrides PriorityQueueBaseTElementRemove.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Explicit Interface Implementations| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | IEnumerableTElementGetEnumerator |
Returns an enumerator that iterates through the collection.
(Inherited from PriorityQueueBaseTElement.) |
| IEnumerableGetEnumerator |
Returns an enumerator that iterates through a collection.
(Inherited from PriorityQueueBaseTElement.) |
RemarksHeaps don't allow enumeration (as enumeration destroys the heap as the elements have to be extracted), so enumerating this
priority queue will throw an exception.
Heaps can't store value types. This is because changing a value type really makes it a different value, while changing the contents of an object doesn't make it a different object. This priority queue, based on a heap, can't store value types either.
